Is it possible to see an excerpts from these and other publications offered for sale in PWM. I have limited resources and need to make each dollar spent provide me with references and information that are going to fit my needs.

I have all three of those books as well as Jim Tolpin’s great book. However, “The Anarchist’s Tool Chest” is by far my favorite and I believe the best book that Chris has written. Every time I read it again or just a chapter here and there, I find more things that I missed or that seem to stand out more in this follow up reading.

Chris is one of the reasons why I to have switched to using mostly hand tools. I have all of Chris’s books and enjoyed reading ( several times ) them immensely . I have learned a great deal about woodworking with hand tools and enjoy Chris’s witty humor and his style of writing.

I’ve gone from power to more hand tool work and these are the books I wish I had as I started woodworking. From explaining how to get a job done to the toolset to get it done. The one otherI’d add is Jim Tolpin’s New Traditional Woodworker.
